To ALL WHOM IT `MAY CONCERTI;V

Beit known that 'I, LEWIS F. Homes, of Quincy, inE the county of Norfolk,`an`d inthe State of Massa-l chusetts, have invented' certain-'new and useful .Improvements in SpoolfHelders'g and do hereby 'declare that.

the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, referencebeing had to the aceompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists in a spool-holder formed `bybendi'ng a piece of wire in such a form as to 'provide a.

retainingpin and socketfor its end, an aigle for the spool, and a holder. for the end of the axle, to prevent the spool from falling oii`,and an eyelet or 'thread-guide, thus forming a. simple and complete article, which can easily be fastened to .thdress i' v i In order toenable others skilled in the art tornalre and use my invention, I will new proceed td'describe its construction and operation, referring to thc annexed drawings, whichform a part of this specification, and

in' which- Figure'l'isa. front' View, and .FigureZ a side view.V l t A t Take a piece of wire, of any material desired,` that hassuihcient spring to it. Begin with the in'a, which in the drawings is represented as horizontal, allow the required length, 'which will correspond with size otrs-poolholder." The 'wire is bent downward, so as to form nearly a right angle, being perpendicular to thepinra, and of Va, height-that depends upon slize of -spool -to beused, It is then Aturned back parallel'to the' perpendicular side, forming at fits'loiver end a security, b, for the end of the'axle.

v'A little 4below the horizontal pin a, :inotherbend is made, and the wire runs-parallel to saidpin. An eye- `vlet,..c, is Inade,.and three short bends, an.1 1pward, inwerdianddownward, and horizontal, making a socket,d,

i'o'r the end of the pin. i

' The wire is then bent perpendicular-ly downward and horizontally inward, forming the axle e for. the spool, which axle'res'ts in the bend b, and the spool-'holder is complete. y

fThe end of the axle e may be either straight, bent, or in any shape desired.

Having thus fullydeiicribed my invention, wh'atl claim as new, and desire tosecure by,Letters Patent, is--f A spoollholder formed'of wire, and provided with the axle e, holder b, thread-guide c, retaining-pin (1, and

socket or eye the whole arranged and operating' substantially as herein set forth.

.. i In testimony'thnt `I claiin the foregoing, Ifhave hereunto set my hand, this sixthday ot'.l July, 1868. LEWIS F. HoBBS.
